Chapter 125: Be Prepared
Cheng Pu, who received the order, did not have any ambiguity and immediately began to prepare.
Duan Xuan and Lu Bu were arranged to go to the path that the army of 50,000 people had passed.
The rest of the men and horses were deployed along the border between Wuling County and Nan County.
It's just that Cheng Pu is a little confused.
It has been a long time since he and others entered Jingzhou.
Yangzhou Sun Jian did not send troops to support for a long time.
What the hell are those guys planning?
Late at night.
Cheng Pu found Liu Hong with doubts in his heart.
"What's the matter, what are you doing looking for me so late?"
Liu Hong was about to rest, but when he saw Cheng Pu walking in, he immediately put down the pen in his hand.
"Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't understand."
"Obviously, more than ten days have passed since we attacked Jingzhou, and it stands to reason that Yangzhou has already gotten the news."
"But it's a little strange that they didn't send troops to support, right?"
Cheng Pu's tone was a little puzzled.
Hearing this, Liu Hong looked stunned, and then smiled.
"Sun Jian has long given up on Jingzhou."
"The reason why I let the army rest in Wuling County is because now the defenders of the other four counties of Jingzhou have all withdrawn."
"As for the herald who wanted to deliver the news to Nanjun, he was intercepted and killed by the men and horses sent by me on the way, so the defenders of Nanjun did not evacuate for the time being."
What?
You've known it for a long time?
Cheng Pu's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Hong in dismay.
"Your Majesty, this ......"
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I have secretly sent a team of men to investigate the situation."
"The herald soldiers who came out of Yangzhou only intercepted and killed the southern county, and the other four counties were all spared."
"The withdrawal of troops is an order issued by Sun Jian, and at the junction of Yangzhou and Jingzhou today, I am afraid that Sun Jian's heavy troops have been hoarded."
Liu Hong said with a smile.
Cheng Pu looked even more surprised.
"Your Majesty, then why are you... Only intercept and kill the heralds of Nanjun? ”
Cheng Pu calmed down and continued to ask.
"Hehe, naturally I want to lead part of the war to Yangzhou."
"Sun Jian wants to see me attacked by various forces first, so I will use his defenders in Nanjun to lead the war to Yangzhou."
"If the defenders of Nanjun are defeated, they will naturally withdraw their troops in the direction of Yangzhou, and the transmission of news will take time, as long as it is handled reasonably, Yangzhou will naturally fight with other forces."
The corners of Liu Hong's mouth hooked up a cold smile.
Sun Jian wants to stay out of the matter, how can he let the other party get his wish?
All he needs to do is spread some fake news.
And with the help of the time gap in the inconvenient transmission of ancient news.
It was enough for Yangzhou and other forces to react after fighting.
Meanwhile.
The 100,000-strong army led by Yuan Shang was about to arrive in Nanjun.
The soldiers patrolling in Nanjun saw the smoke and dust in the distance, and hurriedly passed the news back.
The guard in charge of guarding Nanjun suddenly panicked.
There are only tens of thousands of defenders in Nanjun.
Judging by the situation of the enemy army that came to attack.
If you don't say anything, there will be seventy or eighty thousand, right?
How can this be beaten?
"General, what should we do?"
One of the guards turned to look at the Southshire Guard.
I saw that the other party hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth fiercely.
"Defend the city for me! As soon as they come, attack immediately! ”
"Don't we still have dragon roaring thunder, pull them all up and beat me out!"
Now there is only a desperate fight.
I can only hope that the defenders of Yangzhou can immediately send troops to Nanjun to support.
If you're lucky.
With their 10,000 defenders, they may be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive.
The defenders of South County, who had received the order, immediately began to set about arming.
Dozens of Dragon's Thunderbolt Launchers were carried up to the city, aimed in the direction of the invading army.
The rest of the soldiers bent their bows and arrows, waiting for the other to come.
"Everyone prepare, pay attention to concealment!"
"Listen to General Ben's orders!"
The Nanjun guard shouted.
Hearing this, the defenders of Nanjun immediately hid their bodies behind the city head.
The other side.
Yuan Shang looked at Nanjun, who was getting closer and closer, but he was puzzled in his heart.
Why is this South County so quiet?
Could it be that Liu Hong directly gave up Nanjun and attacked Wuling County with the whole army?
Looking at the empty city, Yuan Shang was even more puzzled.
However, when they were only a few hundred steps away from Southland.
Suddenly, a loud cry burst out.
Immediately after that, the arrows in the sky fell rapidly.
Dozens of huge explosions rang out.
The dragon roared and smashed into the army.
Hundreds of arrows will instantly pierce the front soldier into a hedgehog.
Immediately, the dragon thunder suddenly exploded, and the front army suffered heavy losses in an instant.
In an instant, the army was in chaos!
Not good!
Yuan Shang's complexion changed greatly.
There was an enemy ambush!
Just when he wanted to give the order to withdraw his troops.
An arrow plunged into his arrow in an instant.
Yuan Shang was not in a hurry to dodge, and immediately fell off the horse.
"Lord!"
"Attention the whole army! Retreat now! Retreat now! ”
When Yan Liang and Wen Chou saw Yuan Shang being hit by an arrow, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they hurriedly shouted at the top of their voices.
Seeing this, the defender of Nanjun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered to continue the attack.
By the time Yuan Shang's army retreated, the casualties of the army had reached 6,000.
Corpses everywhere.
The blood gathered into a stream.
After leading the army back, Yuan Shang looked in the direction of Nanjun with a gloomy face.
His gaze fell on the fluttering banner of Nanjun.
His face became more and more gloomy.
"Damn it...... This Nanjun defender turned out to be Sun Jian's subordinates? ”
Yuan Shang turned his head to look at the arrow on his shoulder, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
He has a good temper and he is steady, but that doesn't mean he won't get angry.
Yuan Shang was really angry this time.
If he hadn't been lucky, this arrow might have shot him in the head.
How could Yuan Shang swallow this breath?
"Yan Liangwen is ugly!"
"The last general!"
Hearing Yuan Shang shouting his name, Yan Liang and Wen Chou hurriedly stepped forward.
"Prepare your army now!"
"I'm going to break into the South County myself!"
"After conquering Nanjun, go straight to Yangzhou!"
Yuan Shang shouted with murderous intent in his eyes.
Yan Liangwen and the ugly two were shocked when they heard this, and nodded again and again.
They could also see Yuan Shang's anger.
"You two go and bring the military doctor here."
"Yes!"
Yan Liangwen didn't dare to say much, so he turned around and left.
looked at the backs of the two leaving.
Yuan Shang smiled coldly.
Regardless of what the defenders of the South County are.
He will definitely make Sun Jian pay the price.
Only in this way can the hatred in his heart be dissolved.
It's just that I can't go and take a look at Liu Hong first.
Under the command of Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
The army, which had just been somewhat self-defeated, regrouped and assembled.
An army of more than 90,000 pressed towards Nanjun.
And after approaching South County.
There was hardly any hesitation.
Yan Liangwen Chou immediately ordered to launch the Dragon Yin Thunder.
On this departure, Yuan Shang's army prepared two thousand dragon thunderbolts.
At this moment, thousands of them were used in just one Nanjun.
On average, a single dragon thunderbolt can cover an entire city.
And now thousands of them have been launched suddenly.
In an instant, a fire suppression was formed on the head of the city.
The defenders of South County could only hold their heads and run away.
